https://i.imgur.com/awCkghL.pngIt's been 5 years since the Sims 4 was released so lets share our favorite sim moments and content. Starting with how long you've been playing.

I started playing on day 1. September 2, 2014. I've enjoyed the game since the beginning. Even through the dark days of no toddlers. :p Looking forward to new content and new experiences in the coming years.

I started playing The Sims back in 2000 and each iteration has brought something new to enjoy and love about it. I moved on to TS4 shortly after release and it has come a long way since then. I still feel it has a lot of potential and I hope to see it continue to develop and improve for many years to come. :)

I started playing TS4 in December 2015. Up until then I was still very happy with TS3 and could not imagine switching to a game, which was so new that it would inevitably offer much less content. But I kept myself informed about what was going with the game by watching LGR's pack reviews and Andrew Arcade's LPs. When 'Get Together' came out I was finally convinced. The new concept of clubs and the beautiful town of Windenburg tipped the scales, so to speak. :)

I wish Sims 4 a Happy Birthday also. I skipped this version (for many reasons I will not get into) but, by gosh, it has grown exponentially. May it continue giving great pleasure and special moments for many years to come.Oh, of course, I look forward to a Sims 5 down the road!!!Joseph

I started playing in August 2015 after getting the game on "sale" (paid full price anyways because I messed up somehow :/). I remember pulling a string of all-nighters playing and being super excited while hiding under the covers with my laptop so my parents wouldn't see the light from my screen. The first sims I made was my simself and one of my original characters as a roommate.Ah, the Sims 4. It has opened up an entirely new world for me to pour my creativity into. You could say before 2015 the sims has been the series I was searching for for a long time. I love it!

I played upon release but after a while I went back to Sims 3 for a year or so and then returned to 4 once some packs had come out.

I've experienced the dark times where there were no pools, no ghosts and no toddlers.

I wasn't sure how to vote. I've owned the game since release but didn't play much until seasons was released. The lack of toddlers at release really put me off the game for a long time.

I've had it since the beginning, but was slow to actually switch over from Sims 3. My daughter really wanted me to play 4 with her though!

Those were dark times. Two worlds, hardly any CAS options, children jumping out of bassinets...

I've been a Sims player since Sims 3 back in 2011. I got my Sims 4 in 2014, it was so nice to play a game that didn't freeze up every 20 minutes or less & as I was able to add on my Expansion Packs it still worked. EA MAXIS keep making more lifestates, towns, costumes, outfits, hair, jewerlry, hats, makeup, facial hair etc... Also, please add the Heart Shape Bed, more Sleepwear, Color Wheels & Shorter Teens.
